Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation has yet to introduce Toph, but there are 10 cosplays from the franchise’s dedicated fandom that prove the show needs to stick around long enough to introduce the legendary earthbender. Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 should bring in several new characters from the animated series, and its crucial that the show chooses these additions carefully.

Avatar: The Last Airbender season 1’s ending probably did enough to get fans excited about season 2, but that excitement won’t last forever. Luckily, adding an iconic character like Toph to The Last Airbender‘s cast could energize the fandom if interest begins to tail off. Toph is one of the most beloved characters in the franchise, and there are 10 incredible cosplays of her character that prove Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender needs to include her in its second season.

Toph Visits The Desert

Attention To Detail Brings The Blind Bandit To Life

This incredible Toph cosplay demonstrates immaculate attention to detail, showing off an intricately designed haircut and murky contact lenses that help this fan look exactly like the iconic earthbender. Of the characters expected to appear in Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2, Toph is probably the most popular, and incredibly detailed cosplays like this prove it. Besides being incredibly accurate, this Toph cosplay also perfectly captures the Blind Bandit’s personality.

The forefinger pointed in challenge in the first two images and the flex in the third are the perfect way to express Toph’s competitive, confident personality. These traits are also the biggest reason Netflix needs to keep its Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation going long enough to introduce Toph. She is the best character from the anime who hasn’t been introduced yet, and this cosplay is a reminder of what a shame it would be if Toph didn’t get a chance to appear in live-action.

Toph Visits A Garden

The Perfect Setting Takes Toph To Ba Sing Se

This Toph cosplay shows the legendary earthbender in a garden that looks like it came straight out of the Earth Kingdom. The setting and costume both make it feel like Toph has come to life when looking at this cosplay, making the prospect of seeing her in Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 even more tantalizing. The garden in these photos strongly resembles Toph’s home on the Beifong estate in Gaoling.

Toph comes from a wealthy family where she was pampered and virtually hidden from the outside world. However, Toph learns earthbending from nearby badgermoles and eventually runs away with Team Avatar to teach Aang earthbending. This cosplay is a reminder of that complicated past, which makes Toph an essential character for Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation to include, assuming the series gets its expected renewal from the streaming giant.

Toph Dons A Rock-Ornamented Dress

The original Toph outfit in this cosplay is spectacularly detailed and well-thought-out, providing an excellent example of how Toph’s outfits from the anime could be adapted for live-action. While most of the costume design in Avatar: The Last Airbender season 1 is devoted to accurately depicting the styles seen in the anime, there are some creative changes permitted to the costumes that make them more eye-popping on-screen.

This Toph cosplay shows how incredible her character could look in live-action with a few tweaks to her costume. The rocks sewed onto the hem of this outfit are the perfect way to express Toph’s deep connection to earthbending, which, in many ways, is a defining part of her character. Toph’s earthbending allows her to interact with the world in a way nobody else can, marking another reason that Netflix needs to bring back its Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation for another season and include Toph.

Toph Eartbends In The Woods

Image-Editing Takes Toph Cosplay To The Next Level

This impressive Toph cosplay gives fans a sneak-peek at what Toph might look like earthbending in live-action, making it one of the best cosplays of the iconic earthbender ever. With a bit of clever image-editing, this cosplayer manages to make it look they are bending a handful of rocks. Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender had the chance to see live-action earthbending in season 1 of Netflix’s adaptation, but in some ways, it feels like a teaser for what Toph will do when she appears in the story.

Toph is probably the strongest earthbender in Avatar: The Last Airbender‘s world, and while Bumi and other earthbenders show off some pretty impressive skills, they don’t compare to what Toph can do. Her skills are some of the most visually impressive in the animated Avatar: The Last Airbender, so they could create quite the spectacle in live-action. With that in mind, Netflix would be making a huge mistake not renewing the show and bringing Toph’s character in.

Toph And Iroh Dance In The Classroom

Toph Tries High School In This Wholesome Cosplay

In one of the most heartwarming Toph cosplays anywhere on the internet, a teacher and student dressed as Iroh and Toph, respectively, perform a little jig together in the back of their classroom. This video is a brilliant reminder of how Avatar: The Last Airbender transcends age groups and connects with people from all walks of life. The show has a fun-loving feel to it that makes it enjoyable for so many different kinds of people, and that sentiment is perfectly encapsulated in this fantastic cosplay.

Further, Toph is a goofy character who loves to procrastinate and play around, and that side of her is neatly expressed in this brief video. It might not be the most elaborate or intricately designed Toph costume, but this cosplay captures what the character is all about. This goofy cosplay is also a reminder of why Toph is such a beloved character in the fandom, making it even more important for Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation to get far enough to include her character.

Toph Prepares For Combat

Complete With An Earth Kingdom Mask

Toph is a character who never shies away from a fight in Avatar: The Last Airbender, and that side of her character is on full-display in this awesome cosplay. The poses in these photos show off a couple of Toph’s most iconic stances, making fans itch for a chance to see them in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of The Last Airbender. Further, this cosplay is completed with a stylish Earth Kingdom mask that connects the real world with The Last Airbender‘s.

The mask also proves how dedicated The Last Airbender‘s fanbase is. The show has a global following, and while the live-action show might never perfectly recapture the magic of the animated series, including Toph in season 2 would be a great start. Toph’s appearance would appease fans everywhere, so if Netflix moves forward with another season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Toph needs to be involved.

Toph Smiles In An Eerie Green Light

Toph’s Characteristic Smirk Is Flawlessly Recreated

A lot of Toph cosplays are able to create accurate costumes, but few cosplayers can so perfectly capture Toph’s characteristic smirk. The soft green lighting in these images also provides an eerie feel to this cosplay that is reminiscent of the light given off by the lamps in the Dai Li’s headquarters beneath Lake Lagoi in the Earth Kingdom capital of Ba Sing Se. Further, the various facial expressions in these images provide a strong representation of Toph’s personality.

There is a light-heartedness to the smirks and goofy faces made in this cosplay that fits Toph well, but it also projects a certain confidence that is key to her character as well. Toph is not a fool, but she’s not afraid of anything, and these images depict that without losing the goofy side of the character. The balance between goofy and serious that Toph strikes is what makes her character so great, and it’s another reason Netflix’s Last Airbender adaptation needs her character.

Toph Embarrasses Zuko In Public

Zuko Wants No Part In Toph’s Awesome Dance

In another cosplay that manages to capture Toph’s fun-loving side, the iconic earthbender can be seen doing a fun little dance that Zuko is clearly not a fan of. This video does an incredible job of recreating the dynamic between Zuko and Toph in the animated version of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Their relationship is one of the most fun in the series, so this cosplay can serve as a reminder to Netflix that it needs Toph’s character.

Toph’s relationship with Zuko is an important element of the show, but her relationships with other characters are often just as, if not more, important. This cosplay helps demonstrate that the value of Toph’s character goes beyond her individual characteristics, as she adds value to other characters as well. If Netflix were to omit Toph, it could damage the stories of other characters as well, including Zuko and Aang.

Toph Gets Ready To Take On Azula

This Cosplay Conveys The Serious Side Of Toph’s Character

While many Toph cosplays focus on the goofier side of the character, this impressive video depicts the no-nonsense side of Toph. This is an equally important part of Toph, which points to the complexity that makes her such an amazing character. Further, this cosplay video also includes Azula, teasing an epic battle between the world’s greatest earthbender and one of the strongest firebenders of her generation.

This cosplay makes the prospect of a live-action duel between Toph and Azula feel like a real possibility, but if Netflix chooses not to renew The Last Airbender, or renews the show without including Toph, then it can never happen. Toph and Azula are both prodigies in their respective elements, and getting a chance to see them duke it out with their bending in a live-action format would be an incredible boon to long-time fans of the show.

Toph’s Determination Shines Bright

A Cosplay With Stunning Facial Expression

Cosplays can stand out for all sorts of reasons, but few contain such a striking facial expression as this cosplay of Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender. The look of anguished determination on this cosplayer’s face makes it hard not to start itching for a chance to really see the character in action. It serves as a reminder of the hardships Toph faces in her life, which only makes it more impressive that she can be so confident and fun-loving.

Further, this cosplay is shot and edited so meticulously that it looks like it could be a still from the set of Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2. Unfortunately, the show’s second season is yet to be confirmed by Netflix, but this cosplay shows why the series needs to continue long enough to include Toph. She is not only one of the most beloved characters in the franchise, she’s also a fiercely determined figure who can raise the quality of the entire show.
